Why did Khrushchev criticize Stalin's rule?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He wanted to tarnish Stalin's image as a leader and the myths that surrounded him, and detach the 'Stalin Cult.' In doing so, he would not be criticised of being the culprit of the large amount of people that were still in camps, as on their release they would expose the truth of the repressions. In addition to this, by disregarding his role in the purges, he accused the other senior party members, and stated they were more responsible for the crimes committed. Following this further, the speech gave him the opportunity to begin the process of de-Stalinisation, granting him the chance to turn against Stalin's policies with less criticism from Soviet citizens. Also, Khrushchev believed that Stalin's system held further progress to which he could take up the initiative to produce and reform to his creativity of the policies.

What effects did khrushchev's changes in the soviet union have on the world?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Khrushchev came to power in 1953 after death of J. Stalin. He wasn't as heartless and evil as Stalin, so things changed a bit, while he was ruling.

Most important thing, that he done was let most of the exiled people come back to their home. Also relations with other countries improved.

One of the most characteristic thing to his time was growing of corn. He didn't only recommend, but ordered farmers to grow corn.

All together Kruchchev's time of power was more peaceful than Stalin's and people could breathe up a bit.

Why did Khrushchev send a second note to president JFK?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

On Friday Oct. 26, 1962 Khrushchev sent two letters to President Kennedy.

The first letter was not made public. It was supposedly softer saying Russia would remove its missiles from Cuba if the U.S. would end the quarantine and garantee the U.S. would not invade Cuba. The second letter sounded harsher, seeking the removal of U.S. missiles in Turkey in return for taking Russian missiles out of Cuba.

What were the economic reforms under khrushchev?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Khrushchev's reforms were a series of economic and social initiatives that aimed to transform the Soviet Union from a Stalinist state into a more modern and open society. These reforms were enacted during Nikita Khrushchev's leadership of the Soviet Union between 1953 and 1964. The main elements of Khrushchev's reform program included the following:

  • Decentralization of the economy and the introduction of more market elements
  • Reduction of the state's control over the economy
  • Relaxation of censorship and greater freedom of expression
  • Greater political and legal rights for citizens
  • Reform of the Soviet Union's agricultural policies
  • Greater autonomy for the republics within the Soviet Union
  • Introduction of new technologies, such as space exploration

Khrushchev's reforms were part of a larger effort to modernize the Soviet Union and make it more competitive with the West. His reforms were largely successful in the short term, but were eventually reversed by later leaders, such as Leonid Brezhnev. Despite this, Khrushchev's reforms remain an important part of Soviet history and their legacy can still be seen in modern Russia.
